Make sure you order the banana walnut pancake (RMB 30) at Mr. Pancake House.

2. Mr. Pancake House

Mr. Pancake House is the place to go to for a solid but classy American breakfast.

Complete with banquette seating, the 25-seat eatery exudes an American kitchen feel with its pastel yellow walls and dark wood furniture. It sells everything from French toast, to crepes and of course -- pancakes.

For RMB 30, the banana walnut pancake is a must-try. It comes with large fluffy pancakes topped with walnuts, bananas, powered sugar, maple syrup and a heap of butter on the top for your aesthetic and tasting pleasure.

They also offer a colossal RMB 42 “Mr. Pancake House Breakfast,” which serves two eggs and a choice of meat in addition to two pancakes and fries.

Southern Belle gives out drink cards during happy hours. If you can't finish your free drink, save it for next time.

4. Southern Belle

Located in the heart of the former French Concession, Southern Belle has a bar, a television screen playing classic American films, playful antique posters and tables with high stools.

The American restaurant throws out a happy hour deal from 2 p.m.-8 p.m. every day and a Southern inspired cocktail list. (Mint Juleps, anyone?)

The portions at Southern Belle are massive and definitely consistent with Southern hospitality. For a hearty meal try the Cajun Jambalaya for RMB 25 with a mix of rice, beans, sausage, mustard and spices.

They also provide house special barbecue sauces on the side for your personal drizzling pleasure.
